Mighty Moussa Sissoko has revealed that St James’ Park can be his “field of dreams” after sinking European champions Chelsea on a home debut that few Newcastle United fans will ever forget

Mighty Moussa Sissoko has revealed that St James’ Park can be his “field of dreams” after sinking European champions Chelsea on a home debut that few Newcastle United fans will ever forget.

The French international, who says he’s fallen in love with Newcastle already, celebrated the win with a “quick drink” as he gazed at the Tyne Bridge on Saturday night, before a quick turnaround this week as prepares to face Germany in a friendly in Paris.

However, the powerhouse midfielder could not be in better mood after helping Newcastle come back from behind to win a Premier League game for the first time in almost FOUR years on Tyneside.

It was Bobby Robson who admitted that players should have “wild dreams” before every game at St James’ Park, and Sissoko provided two moments that the Geordie Godfather would have given his full seal of approval to against the Blues.

Man of the match Sissoko told the Chronicle: “It is up there with my best moments of my career.

“I’m not sure if it is quite the best yet.

“But to score on my home debut and get a brace against the European champions Chelsea and come away with three points is absolutely fantastic.

“Even in my wildest dreams I couldn’t have imagined that! I’m happy to come away with the victory.

“We now have the confidence to go on and win more games.”

Yet while many fans are now hoping for a quick climb up the table, none of them could blame Sissoko for wanting to make the most of every second of the celebrations in the city.

He said: “In France I would go home and celebrate by spending time with my family.

“My family are in France now so I spent time in the hotel. I got some rest and had a quick drink just to celebrate with the team.”

United now have 27 points in the bag yet Toon supporters will sleep a lot easier once they reach the magic 40 mark.

However, a rejuvenated Toon will be confident of getting at least that tally with 39 points still to play for this season.

Sissoko said: “Since I arrived I said we could really move up the league table. We can finish in a much better position.

“Now we’ve had two victories since I’ve been here and that’s fantastic.

“But we must not get too complacent. It isn’t going to be easy, it will probably be even harder. It’s something we’re ready for and we’ll keep battling.”

And looking ahead, he added: “I signed and knew full well the position Newcastle were in. But I wasn’t too worried, I knew there had been some injuries.

“The second half is going to be very different. Along with the new signings we’ve made bringing a boost to the team I am happy to bring positives and strengths to the team. We hope to continue do well.”

Sissoko and his team-mates took part in an end of game lap of honour on Saturday.

It may have only been three points but they deserved their big moment and Alan Pardew deliberately replaced Sissoko in the last minute so he could milk the applause during a standing ovation for the home debutant.

Speaking about the lap of honour, he said: “The idea came from our first match at Aston Villa. Yohan Cabaye said we had to go over to the fans and thank them. He suggested it again after Chelsea.

“Their support was brilliant. The fact that we won was also thanks to their support.

“I couldn’t play the full 90 minutes last time. But the public supported me all the way through against Chelsea.

“I was lucky enough to get two goals but we can’t forget this was a team performance.
